As of August 2026: $413,027, +0.9% over twelve months.

Start with the typical home: $413,027. Put 20% down and borrow $330,422 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.

That is $2,288 a month in principal and interest.

The median household here earns $101,440 a year, $8,453 a month. So the payment takes 27.1% of income — rated “affordable” (Lotvox ZIP bands: under 28% affordable · 28–36% stretched · 36%+ severe).

The line holds today's rate fixed and moves only the price: at that rate, the same share was 11.3% in 2000.

Take the typical home's price each month, borrow 80% at that month's actual 30-year average rate: in January 2000 (8.21%) the payment was $1,035.

In December 2020, with rates at 2.68%, it was $1,008.

By August 2026, at 6.67%, it was $2,125 — +111% since December 2020, while the home's value moved +33%.

Reported values rose +139% since January 2000.

General prices (CPI-U) rose +97% over the same span.

Divide one by the other: in August 2026 dollars, the 2000 home was worth $341,143. So the real change is +21%, not +139%.

27235: +139% since January 2000.

Guilford County: +135% since January 2000.

Picture the Listings Flow Ladder as a basin: new listings pour in from the faucet, the homes for sale are the water, and closed sales run out the drain. Coming in — new listings: about 8 a month (Redfin, 3-month rolling data through August 2026).

On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 35.

Going out — closed sales: about 9 a month. The drain is drawn 27% narrower: the share of homes for sale that sell each month is 73% of its 2015–2019 level.

The ladder: homes for sale ÷ monthly sales = 3.9 months of supply — below the 4–6 month range Lotvox treats as balanced. In the basin, that is the water level against the shaded balanced band.

The net reading: about 1 more homes sold than came on each month, so inventory is shrinking. The basin is draining.

Homes sold: about 9 a month in August 2026 (Redfin).

The 2015–2019 level for the same month was 6 — so sales ran at 150% of it, and below it in 7 of the last 24 months.
